Plot:
His Airness and His Hareness: what a team! Michael Jordan slams, Bugs Bunny jams and a cavalcade of Looney Tunes stars hoop it up in Space Jam, the rim-rattlin' animated/live-action roundball romp from Hollywood talents who refuse to let their imaginations be earthbound.
The jokes fly and the fun never stops as the Tune Squad takes on the Nerdlucks in a hardcourt game to decide if the Looney Tunes remain here...or become attractions at a far-off galactic off-ramp called Moron Mountain. The Nerdlucks have a monstrous secret weapon on their side: they've stolen the skills of top NBA stars like Charles Barkeley and Patrick Ewing and become Monstars. But that's not all, folks. The Tune Squad also has a secret weapon. And he just happens to be the finest player in this or any other universe. He's outta this world. So's the fun.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I haven't seen in years. Matter of fact I haven't seen anything with the Loony Toons since Brittany was just a toddler. And she is 14 now. Watching this today was Brittany's choice. She just got home from spending a few days at her grandmother's house and wanted to watch something with me. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a cute movie. Better then I was remember it being. It has a few decent laughs in it. I am glad we watched this one today.

Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a review by addicted2comics

Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Plot: The classic story of a creature in Whovile who plots to stop Christmas from coming, brought to life by none other than Jim Carrey.

My Thoughts: First let me start off by saying Jim Carrey is one of my favorite comedy actors ever. I like how the writers went into the Grinch's past, explained why he hated Christmas, and gave him a love life. It was hilarious at every turn in my opinion, but nothing really made me laugh out loud.I'll give this movie a 4 out of 5.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Man About The House - Complete Series One

Episode 1 - Three's a Crowd
Chrissy and Jo have a farewell party for their flatmate, who is moving out, now that she's engaged. The morning after the party, they find Robin in their bathtub, asleep. They need a new flatmate, and he needs a place to live, so it seems like a match made in heaven, and they invite him to move in. There's just one problem: Mr. and Mrs. Roper, the landlords, may not think that this idea is such a good one.



One of Thames' most successful comedy series, "Man About The House" spawned equally popular spin-offs: "Robin's Nest" and "George and Mildred".
The perks and pitfalls of mixed flat-sharing are brought home when Robin Tripp, played by Richard O'Sullivan, moves into Jo and Chrissy's London apartment. Meanwhile, their landlords, the Ropers, keep a watchful eye on their goings-on.

Fun 70's sitcom, starring O'Sullivan who was at the top of his game at this point, the laughs still come thick and fast and this has not dated at all. Felt very nostalgic watchng this, the Ropers downstairs (pilot review of George and Mildred to come) are a great double act, and the fashions hysterical. Innocently and amusingly politically incorrect, oh how much simpler life was back then! Very short episodes as these originally were broadcast with adverts, but despite this still very enjoyable.
Another British classic.
